CURRENTLY ACCEPTING WAITLIST APPLICATIONS. NEXT APPLICATION REVIEW PERIOD WILL BE IN MARCH 2026.
Hillcrest Health & Living provides an amazing opportunity for those looking to jump back into healthcare!
We are offering the chance to select candidates with a strong interest in inspiring people to live their best lives to reactivate your lapsed/inactive CNA certification for free.
This program requires at least a six-month employment commitment working full-time or part-time at one of Hillcrest’s skilled nursing facilities after completion of the CNA recertification.
Due to state requirements, we can allow you to work in a restricted position immediately following completion of the recertification until your license is showing active on the DHHS registry.
What should I have to be considered for this program?
• A clear background screen. • Must be willing to work at least 20 hours a week.
• Reliable transportation. • Compassion and dedication to care for others. • A lapsed or inactive CNA license in the state of Nebraska.
The CNA recertification is completed through our partner, Quality Career Pathways. They offer two different renewal options:
• Re-test – this offers you a chance to retake your skills and written exams. (Best option for those who recently lapsed/worked as a CNA less than a year ago). • Refresher course – this offers you the ability to take a 3-hour class followed by retaking your skills and written exams. (Best option for those who have been lapsed for a year or more).
If this is a program you are interested in, please apply online at hillcrestcareers.com and a recruiter will contact you to qualify you for the program.
